Dear friends,

Below is the text of the final declaration of the Civil Society Parallel
Conference on the Fourth Geneva Convention that concluded yesterday. It
calls for states to secure Israel's respect for international humanitarian
law, and outlines specific and immediate steps that should be taken in this
direction.

Please take a moment to read the statement and to add your name to it, either as an individual an organisation. To do so, please send an e-mail to <a href="mailto:pchr@pchrgaza.org">pchr@pchrgaza.org</a> with the phrase "NGO declaration" in the subject line. In the body of the e-mail, please include your name, affiliation, and where you are based. The declaration is also available on our website, at
<a href="http://www.pchrgaza.org" title="www.pchrgaza.org">www.pchrgaza.org</a>.

Thank you for your time. Under the current very difficult circumstances, our appreciation for the help of our friends and colleagues can only be greater.

Sincerely
Raji Sourani
Director, PCHR
